At $244 per day, it's worth an additional 10% to add Fast Pass, but I fear that means everybody will get Fast Pass, so the fast lane won't be any faster than the regular lane.

$244 per day?! This is not much less than the cost of a full-year pass from some years ago.

Perhaps if Disney creates more LGBTQI suggestive content for kids, promotes transgenderism even more, and adds additional “child of Satan little Antichrist” cartoons then their stock will go back up? Oh…and don’t forget to hire MORE pedophile child trafficking employees than they currently have!

Cheaper to book a coast-to-coast flight then spending a day in Disneyland.

One-day tickets now range from $104 to $179

A lift ticket at Steamboat Springs ranges from $108 to $229, or at Whiteface they are about $119. Everything is going up, ain't inflation grand.

Disneyland should raise the price to $500/day. That way they will signal that only indoctrinated upper middle class folks are welcome.

The experience will be much better for those guests able and willing to pay the higher freight as the common deplorable riff raff will be priced out.

To make sure that only the anointed attend they should brand everything with rainbows, require all ticketholders to inform them of their preferred pronouns, and make them sign some sort of DEI statement assuring Disney that they are either a fully fledged member of the LGBTQIA+ community or an ally.

I’d do Knott’s Berry Farm or the Getty Museum or the Nixon and Reagan libraries and many other places in the Los Angeles area far before even thinking of Disneyland.

Back in the 80’s a Disney spokesperson said the company planned to raise prices every year until 10% of the people that drove to the gate, turned around and left. Now that everything is booked in advance and the greenway speeds them and their dollars right to the park, it seems the policy is still up and running.

Disney is excrement. I have no understanding why people would waste their money on Disney’s wokeness.

I grew up about 6 miles from Disneyland in the 70s/80s. While in high school we would sometimes go after school (Monday thru Thursdays) and hit all the rides in a few hours and be back home by 8pm. It only cost $8 then and the longest wait to get on a ride might have been 30-40 minutes (Space Mountain or Star Tours), but every other ride would be 5-10 minute wait at most. We never went on weekends or holidays as it was always packed, but the first 4 days of the week were great.

Haven’t been back since my kids went off to college and couldn’t imagine paying $244 per person while standing in line for 2 hours for each ride. And I have been told by friends that it is packed from opening until closing 7 days a week, and that the park usually stops admitting people inside around 10am-11am because the park has reached maximum capacity by that time. That and the price of admission, combined with the overpriced carnival food is insanity in my opinion. But you can’t blame Disney for that if people are willing to pay that much money and tolerate the crowd, congestion and standing in line for hours on end.

We were going to do DNL but changed our mind directly because of the ticket prices. Wanted to do 3 days for 6 of us, and that is a fortune. Will go on an Alaska cruise instead.

If you want to spend more time riding than standing in line, come to Idlewild some 50 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA.

Yeah, it is only seasonal, but a day pass is less than $40 and you don't have to put up with line jumpers and urban ferals.

Kennywood, a little closer to the city, runs you about the same money and is only a bit more crowded.

For $244 a day, I could have a great time at the slot machines in Vegas in air conditioned comfort with no screaming kids or annoying people dressed up like cartoon characters.

Both have outpaced inflation. Makes you want to take inflation seriously.

It’s almost as though the customer was being penalized and fined for having the temerity, the audacity to enter the Golden Fortress known as Disneyland.

“You DARE to enter through these iron GATES??”
